Hi All, been a long time since I posted.
I have an swa cable (6mm 3 core) buried to a very deep depth down the edge of my garden, ready to go into a log cabin. Being delivered on the 30th Sept.
The cable run is 20m long from cu to Cabin.
I intend to use metal clad box sited next to cu, and terminate the SWA into this, and carry the earth cable (3rd conductor in the swa) to the earth block in the cu. Do I also need to carry a separate short earth wire from metal clad box to earth terminal in cu ?
I intend to take supply from a spare way in the cu from the non protected rcd side, and install an rcd protected garage type & metal clad (so as i can terminate swa straight to it) cu in the cabin. I will require approx two double sockets, and a light. Consumption will be light as only running a treadmill, small heater in the winter & possibly garden tools now and again.
The electrical supply to my house is i'm advised defo not TT, and is either TN-S or TN-C-S. This info from the supplier.
Is it OK to export the earth via the SWA, and of course utilising the 3rd core as mentioned.
The cabin is site approx 10 metres from the front of the house.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
